Are you a Chilly Padi addict? I am! Chilly Padi is those little mini chilly that is also known as ‘bird’s eye chilly’. Why do they name it this way? And why do they call it Chilly Padi? Wonder if it’s because it was grown side by side with Paddy plants or is it because they look as small as Rice Field plant? Sigh, I do not know but my friend who is caucasian asks me such questions.. hehehe There are many different varieties, some are very small, some fat-ish smallish and some are just very big and long. Which one is spiciest, I wonder? My friends from Malaysia tells me the stout fat ones are spiciest but I really can’t tell.. I thought the Thai varieties are quite spicy.. yummy!
